#72Gutted this isn't on Android. Why are so many people still launching apps/competitions/products for iOS only? I could understand it a few years back, but doing it today just cuts your market in half.
This [1] is from their user guide for the notebook. Device Support Page Camera is currently available only on iOS (iPhone / iPad), but will be added to Android and other mobile platforms in the future. iPhone 3Gs, iPad 2, and earlier models are not optimal for Page Camera due to absence of flash and low camera resolution.

That's good news, thanks.

#73I've never gotten into Evernote, but have wanted to for a long time. I've bought these as a way of forcing myself to finally sit down and learn how to use it. Does anyone know of a good intro guide to Evernote?
Yes, it's even advertised in the Evernote desktop application. "Evernote for Dummies".

#74Earlier quoted context omitted.
for one, the paper has alignment dots that evernote uses to square the image perfectly even if the camera is held askew.
Can't a generalized line/grid detection algorithm be used to correct the skew from photos of any lined or squared note paper? $25/notepad is way of the charts for the types of notes and sketches that I actually need a notepad for.
Yep. Edge detection + affine transform. No need for any fancy dots.

#75How is this different from taking notes on any physical paper and take a photo of it? My Galaxy SII camera takes real good pictures of papers. They are readable, good focused and sharp. I just see a marketing partnering stunt here?? Am I missing something?
Automatic color and contrast correction, handwriting recognition, automatic ordering of pages, and tagging/searching capabilities once they're in the app.
But this is already evernote nothing new??

Because even though iOS has fewer users, those users are more valuable. They tend to fall into higher income brackets and be higher spenders.
I don't doubt that :-)
But I wonder how long this will be the case. Anecdotally I'm seeing more people choose Android (or at least Samsung Android phones) - with a bigger user base, how long before the subset of early adopters/higher spenders is as big or bigger than those with an iPhone?

#77As an author, it's depressing to see empty books -- stickers and all -- selling for twice as much as full ones.
Re: Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine
#78I think this is really quite neat. I used to be a heavy user of Evernote, but I found it difficult to reconcile my handwritten notes (90% of my notes at work) with what I'd have in Evernote. As a result, I stopped using Evernote. I always hoped I'd be able to find a good way to record my notes digitally (e.g., iPad + stylus), but at the end of the day, taking notes with pen & paper always wins for me. This could very…
What's your opinion of Livescribe? I'm also a paper note taker but I don't see myself moving to Livescribe (though I haven't tried it) or taking photos of pages in Evernote. I'm pretty organized, though, so I'm not dying to have everything digitized.

Since they are doing recognition of stickers, isn't it also possible for you to invent your own 'tag' and train Evernote to recognise it? Then they could charge for the app and you won't be stuck with recurring sticker purchases.
Or just "pirate" them yourself with some colored sticker paper.

I think you answered your own question. Building iOS only is only half the effort as well. Half the effort for the more valuable half of the market gives disproportionate gains.
